MAY DAY CELEBRATED
Here and abroad, May Day is marked by mass parades, although New York's "Loyalty Parade" overshadows the march of communists and Red sympathizers. In Norway, Denmark, and in Japan, anti-Reds stage own demonstrations to counteract rallies by leftists. In New York, veterans swell the ranks of marchers in impressive demonstration of patriotism.
"IKE" ARRIVES AT COLUMBIA
NEW YORK -- Making his departure from Army life, General Eisenhower arrives to take over as president of Columbia University. Mrs. Eisenhower makes trip with "Ike," after gala military send-off at Fort Myers, Va. He reiterates his stand on a possible nomination, and also says he doesn't believe war is inevitable.
APPLE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
WINCHESTER, VA. -- Against a picturesque Shenandoah Valley setting of apple trees in bloom, pretty Gretchen Merrill, Olympic skater, is crowned festival queen, and poses with her court in a richly garlanded orchard. (Washington only)
"CITATION" WINS THE DERBY
LOUISVILLE--The 74th running of the Kentucky Derby draws 100,000 racing fans to Churchill Downs. The turf classic of the year! It's a small field, only six entries, but a big thrill when the favored Citation goes ahead in the stretch to win by 3 1/2 lengths. Coaltown is second, and My Request third.
